I am interested in returning all matches for animals who are in a
proper "chase" order.  So for example, the above animal who's ID is
50, is correctly in order if the proceding-animal is 40 (there should
be 2 matches).  Similarily, the animal who's ID is 60 is in correct
order one time with the proceding-animal who's ID is 50.  This "chase"
order is to be derived by the code/record lookup above.

Hi,

It would be easier to use keys here:

<xsl:key name="chases" match="field[@fieldname='chase']" use="../@id"/>

<xsl:template match="data">
<xsl:copy-of select="animals/animal[@id=key('chases',preceding-sibling::animal[1]/@id)/@id]"/>
</xsl:template>
